New heroes are extremely unlikely. New skills probably too.
New game systems for endgame should never ever happen imo.
But new items, new cube recipes., rebalancing of some skills and items, yeah, I’d take all that.
Also, new bosses/minibosses spread through the overworld, for new challenges, and new places to farm. D2R should focus on expanding the systems that already are there, rather than make new ones imo.
With the extremely important caveat, that the old version must also be playable in D2R; in a separate realm.
I’d be down with skin changes to bosses for certain holidays. Give me uber Diablo with a Christmas hat and meph with a pumpkin head. Let the blizz artists get a crack at making some fun
Maybe bosses that make the overworld off all acts on hell more interesting.
Real challenging stuff, best implemented as additional overworld events.
Of course optional.
The current build of the original game should always remain an option.
But other than that I’m more for a Diablo 1 remaster and a great Diablo 4 instead of trying to greatly expand on D2 contentwise.
I’m a summon necro player for life.
It was never the strongest build for “endgame” hell or solo, but my maxed out army is always a welcome addition to every party.
And you got much freedom to move around and loot between replacing your summons.
I cant wait getting into the game even writing about it, despite the situation on consoles.
So if they want to buff me they can feel free to do so, but I’ve never seen it that way.
Actually if I am not mistaken in the survey they had a question “new skills per ladder”, so I would not exclude it.
New game systems for endgame are more than welcome too, baal runs boring AF.
What about treasure goblins from D3 but from HELL!! Evil and deadly looking!!
They actually attack and have random affix on them. Could open a black portal, Lvl 85 magic finding zone where everything in game drops… randomly generated zones from D2 any mobs could spawn and at the end of the zone you fight a random boss from D2.
Goblins only found in hell difficulty adding to end game activities. Spawn with a pack of other goblins, but the unique goblin spawns portal.
If we wanted to have a use for the standard of heros…
Bosses at the end of the zone have a chance to drop Worldstone shard fragments… A left shard, middle and right. 3 shards in total, mixing the shards in cube creates a…
WSP - Worldstone piece
Mixing a worldstone piece with the standard of heros will enchant the Standerd of heros, making it a random stat that can be taken to Akara in act 1 to add to jewelry.
Examples for enchants
Cannot be frozen
+1 all skills
+1 sockets
+15-30% MF
+5-8 all stats - str dex vit eng
+5-10 all resis
Enchants only have the best stats, due to the time invested into completing the cycle to enchant the standard of heros…
Open socket would be a new feature on Jewelry.
That would be crazy lol… Rob talking like Personal loot is on the table for discussion… hope you all have your old D2 copy, D2R will be a totally different game from the original.
It would like to see Blizzard team up with a couple of prominent modders and create a new version to play with a 6th act. This would be a totally standalone version selected when starting the game to ensure the original D2 LOD is persevered.
By doing that Blizzard would gain some creditability and the fear of breaking D2 would be offset by the original remaining untouched.
